Adelman also mentioned that Cam was gutting it out on bad ankle and clearly wasn't moving well, worse than in OKC game.

Strong words from Adelman about the start to the second quarter, hinted pretty clearly at rotation changes, was positive about Pickett's play.

I presume it lasted the rest of the first quarter.

UGH Wolf missed entire rim badly with intentional miss attempt, insta-violation.

Feel-good tanking L for Nets, almost good enough to beat Cleveland but no lottery impact.

TWO foul-up-3s from Cleveland, and pretty early ones at that.

Jordi Fernandez gotta just draw up Quack2s until the clock runs out. Can't risk accidentally winning this.

Wolves beat Denver 117-108. Impressive stuff from Minnesota, bench unit with Bones-Ayo completely owned Denver subs. Denver got 2 points in 40 minutes from Johnson-Strawther.

Slightly early to call a shot a dagger, but that bailout 3 by Ant just now definitely felt dagger-adjacent. Wolves by 13 with six minutes left.

The Athletic: NBA Hall of Famers. A Splash Father. Inside the single 3-pointer club Two-time NBA champion Mychal Thompson only attempted 12 3-pointers his entire career. He made one. His son Klay has made 2,836 and counting.

Thought @joevardon.bsky.social was gonna have to update this story when I saw Rudy wind up for it.

Gobert corner 3 attempt!!!

He is now 0-for-21 career from beyond the arc.

lol the Bulls just scored 27 straight points against Milwaukee. Looks like we have to call them the BuLLLLLLLLLLLWs now

End of 3: Wolves 90, Nuggets 82.

Nuggets will start 4th with the Jokic rest minutes, which was a yikes tire fire in first half.

Wolves have finally put their best player, Bones Hyland, back in the game.

Challenge by Wolves fails. One of the few things that hasn't worked for them since start of second quarter.

Exciting times in Chicago as the BuLLLLLLLLLLLs have tied Milwaukee early in 4th, also has implications for Hawks fans.

Not sure if it can technically get overturned, but the entry for "weak sauce" in the dictionary has a picture of that offensive foul call against Edwards next to it.

Donte's Inferno good post hit send

Great point by Doris: why challenge a 1st-half foul on a guy shooting 50% at the line?

absolute CP3-level stuff here, was arguing with ref for delay call because he knew second one was a tech.

Insane block by Edwards and save by DiVincenzo. Wolves firmly in control of this game rn

A rough second quarter for the home team, 36-18 Wolves, ends with Ant going coast-to-coast in last four seconds for a layup.

Minnesota takes a 58-50 lead into half. Bones Hyland with 15 points in just 8 minutes. 14-2 edge in FB points for Wolves.

wow, UNsuccessful challenge as they say Cam's left hand got arm before right hand got ball.

Challenge coming as replay makes it appear Cam Johnson got all ball on Gobert.

Nuggets bench working hard to get Joker another MVP rn

Honestly a spectacular delay of game violation by McDaniels right there. Definite contender for my top five delay of game violations of the year column

aaaand a 9-0 Wolves run quickly ties things. Bones Hyland has been fantastic, 12 points in six minutes, hasn't missed a shot, just dimed Ayo Dosunmu in transition to tie the game.

Flagrant 1 on Valanciunas.
